Underrated

A recap of Season 3 from our title sponsor, KPMG US, who helps make our mission possible! #UGTour ?

Heaven was a Golf Course. ????????♀? Back in September, 12 members of Underrated Golf paired with 12 members of First Tee and descended on Ohoopee Match Club for the first-ever Indigo & Gopher Match. Over the course of a few days, bonds were built, impact was created, memories were made, and a great golf event was born. Stay tuned for more. ??

Thanks to Chase, this season we were able to provide our guests and players with an elevated hospitality experience and bring our players to the US Open Women’s Semifinals. ?? ?? ? Like the players said, THANK YOU CHASE! ? #ChasePartner #UGTour

On Wednesday we marked the conclusion of Season 3 of the Underrated Golf Tour, with Izzie Kelly and Jaden Soong being crowned the 2024 Curry Cup Champions. It's been an incredible journey watching an idea written on a napkin evolve into a thriving junior golf tour now in its third year and continuing strong. Many of you know about my deep passion for golf, but I also want to share the inspiration behind why the Underrated Golf Tour was created. Golf, as it stands, is a predominantly white sport, designed to benefit certain groups over others. One of the biggest challenges facing the golf world is the lack of access for underrepresented communities—whether it’s the limited availability of golf courses, the high costs associated with the sport, or simply the lack of opportunities to pick up a club and give it a try. The statistics speak volumes: only two Black men are ranked in the top 100 golfers worldwide, and just one Black woman is in the top 300. Less than 2% of all golfers are Black or Latinx. Renowned Black players like Tiger Woods are few and far between. Youth sports have lifelong benefits—enhancing cognitive skills, increasing the likelihood of attending college, boosting career success, and improving mental health. Recognizing these troubling statistics and understanding the positive impact sports can have on children fueled my passion for bringing equity, access, and opportunity to the game of golf. Golf should be a sport for everyone, which is why the Underrated Golf Tour is building a new foundation from the ground up. While golf is at the core of what we do, our mission extends far beyond it. By offering specialized programming, coaching, and networking opportunities with brands and corporations, we aim to change these statistics and increase participation in overlooked communities. #UnderratedFounder #LinkedInSports

Just three years into Underrated Golf's existence, United helped us host our inaugural European Tour tournament in London. I honestly can't tell you how proud I am to see Underrated's mission of "equity, access, and opportunity" cross the pond so quickly. Shouts to the six junior golfers from the US-based Tour who got the chance to fly in for the event, shouts to the 80 UK-based kids who had the opportunity to experience what it's all about it, and all love to United for helping bring London to life for all of us.?#UGTour #LinkedInSports

Underrated Golf is about to kick off its third season. It’s hard to overstate, then, how excited I am to follow along — on social and in person — as the Tour unfolds over next four months. Underrated Golf has gone from zero to one in, seemingly, the time it takes a three to fall. See, just five years ago, Underrated Golf was a dream scrawled on a piece of paper. Three years ago, it came to life as a precocious and fledgling tour. Now, as the summer season kicks off, Underrated is currently in the UK for its first-ever international event before returning to the US for five stops across the country. With an altruistic mission at its core — equity, access, and opportunity — almost 100 talented young golfers with cards, and a carefully curated list of incredible partners backing it, Underrated Golf is poised for its best and most impactful summer yet. So no matter how busy my summer gets, you know I’ll be watching…and smiling. #UGTour #LinkedInSports #UGTFounder
